What is an Adjustable Ring in a Water Level Control Box?

01/02/2012 6:11 AM

Hi guys,

What is an Adjustable Ring in a Water Level Control Box ?

I need to design a water level control box using a adjustable ring. But I dont have any idea about adjustable ring and how it can be used for controlling water level.

Thanks in advance !

There should be a life lesson here. Don't expect other people to do your work for you.

How could you possibly "design" something when you have no idea what it is you are supposed to "design".

Have you searched on the internet? Have you looked for any examples, wherever it is that you work, or are going to school?

What do you do when you are designing things you know about???

Do you know what a search engine is?

Hey, I can change the ring tone on my cell phone so that I know who's calling me before I answer. Maybe the announcer circuitry of your water level control box is supposed to make an adjustable ring sound depending on the water level. This way one can hear the water level in the reservoir.

Here's another idea, sphincter.

Actually that's just a noun, but from that noun you should get an idea.

"Sphincters prove effective in the mediation of the entrance or release of liquids and fluids; this is evident, for example, in the blowholes of numerous marine mammals."

We're getting closer. This seems to have something to do with fluid level control.

It could be one of a number of things, from an adjustable circular weir to something to modulate a flow control valve. Presumably somebody instructed you to do the design. Go and ask him what it is.

As per your question, this could even be the workings of a toilet bowel... Sometimes it is a hollow ring that floats up and closes the supply valve when the water level reaches its desired level???

I used to carry a handy-dandy pocket tape recorder with me, just to make sure I didn't miss any notes during class. And, it even saved my lower external sphincter a few times!
